00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:17,520
if you guys enjoy watching me get absolutely fleeced by collectors this

2
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:22,480
is gonna be the best episode yet ladies and gentlemen i am coming at you

3
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:27,119
with the one the only

4
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:29,599
hot wheels pc the good news for me is

5
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:35,200
that the 1900-ish u.s dollars that i spent to acquire this thing is

6
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:37,120
considerably less than the 6 000 bounty

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:43,040
that i offered on the WAN Show for a full set including the tower monitor

8
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,440
keyboard mouse mouse pad and racing wheel all

9
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:49,039
of which i've got the bad news

10
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:55,360
is that that ended up being just to borrow it i have to send it back when i'm done

11
00:00:52,399 --> 00:01:00,320
MSI's GeForce rtx 3080 gaming x trio 10 gig has it all performance low noise and

12
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:04,079
RGB gamer aesthetics check it out today at the link in the video description

13
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,840
full disclosure guys i could have spent the full bounty amount and gotten a hot

14
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:23,920
wheels pc and full set of accessories that i could have kept but the main

15
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,920
reason that i didn't is because

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,880
i don't want one and i'm not the only one both the hot wheels

17
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:36,079
computer and its cuter cousin the barbie computer were colossal failures for a

18
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:41,280
number of reasons starting with well the branding you see in 1999 it was

19
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,759
more common for families to have a single desktop computer that everyone

20
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,880
shared so even though they were priced quite attractively at just 600 us

21
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,520
dollars the tackiness of the design inherently

22
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:59,200
made it a niche product because it was really only for families where junior or

23
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,159
little miss was going to have their own computer in their room problem number

24
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:08,319
two was the product i mean on the surface it

25
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:10,720
sounded pretty good Intel CPU Windows 98

26
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:14,959
a whole host of included educational software and games i mean the hot wheels

27
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,680
one check this out even came with a hot wheels branded

28
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:25,040
steering wheel and pedal for racing games only the computers themselves were

29
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,959
sick a full 50 of the initial units

30
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:33,959
apparently suffered from bad power supplies causing a rush of customer

31
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,959
service complaints and returns

32
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,120
um let me just make sure this is the tear

33
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,640
down one hold on making matters worse even if the quality

34
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,160
was perfect the product faced significant criticism for being a pretty

35
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:56,560
underwhelming computer even for the low price holy sh

36
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:02,080
patriot computers was based in canada sorry all the disappointed children uh

37
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,959
on behalf of my fellow canadians then

38
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:10,080
wait what okay

39
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,239
got our cd-rom drive floppy as well as a

40
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:19,599
hard drive in there i believe this unit here was a celeron 333 model with a six

41
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,120
gig hard drive i want to say 6.4

42
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:27,120
the other one's got a 10 gig oh wait no i think i get it it's all one big piece

43
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:34,330
here i think i actually do have to take out this stupid screw on the bottom

44
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:40,720
this is the for parts one

45
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:49,120
okay wow it literally does not have a single

46
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,599
expansion slot i mean look at this rear i o shield

47
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:57,840
two usb 2s modem

48
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,879
speaker mic monitor out oh serial and

49
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,560
two more usbs that's it pop the id and

50
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:06,319
floppy cables off and let's see if we can oh yeah there we go

51
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,200
slide the drives out get a bit of a better look at that

52
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:13,280
supremely unimpressive motherboard

53
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:18,400
what the motherboard tray just like pops up like that wow

54
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:23,280
well that mile that would make assembly like pretty easy actually good idea

55
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:27,520
patriot computers too bad you never live to see it through i wonder if they

56
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,800
actually did like a custom board for this thing oh never mind this is from

57
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:36,080
back when Intel made their own motherboards see there's actual Intel branding right

58
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:41,600
there on the board definitely nothing stand out about this machine other than

59
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:46,320
the failure rate apparently so many of these died during the product life cycle

60
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:50,800
that the manufacturer patriot computers was ultimately driven to bankruptcy

61
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:56,639
don't feel too bad for them though they went down real ncix-like actually

62
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,880
accepting orders and people's money up

63
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:03,360
until the very end leaving thousands of people with computers that they ordered

64
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,880
and were not going to receive mattel ended up having to issue 100 free toys

65
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,880
and gift certificates to angry parents who thought they were going to be

66
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,800
getting a hot wheels pc or barbie pc for their kids for christmas but found out

67
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:21,840
last second that they were going to end up with nothing

68
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:26,639
but did their kids really miss out there's only one way to find out in

69
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:32,400
addition to this for parts unit i've actually got what this particular

70
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,600
collector refers to as a museum grade

71
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,320
hot wheels pc that is fully functional

72
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:42,080
and for funsies i'm going to tell my kids that i replaced their computer

73
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,800
with this and see what they think of it

74
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,720
it looks good do you want to try it okay

75
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:55,199
i'll press it harder yeah there you go this button is to open

76
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:58,400
up the cd drive oh well we got to turn on the monitor

77
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:02,560
too can you press power button on the monitor you gotta give it a

78
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,240
little pushy push there hey there we go

79
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:11,120
i missed that sound so it's got some games already loaded on it when you just

80
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:15,440
move this a little bit it goes so far um

81
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:19,759
yeah so this is a new technology um it's actually a ball mouse it's for

82
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,840
ballers do you know what a baller is no okay baller's someone who's just you

83
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,880
know they ball too hard right um

84
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,919
so it's got like a ball in there so the ball moves a little roller inside the

85
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:35,759
mouse and that's what moves the cursor around pretty much what i'm trying to say is there's no way to adjust that who

86
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,400
put napster on this uh why don't we try why don't we try a game that it comes
